That's fine.

.. because typically the current directory is not in the path.
If the executable flag is on (set with chmod or a file manager)
then run it like this:
a) in the directory where the script is with
./chlatransl
or
b) with full path from anywhere
/path/to/chlatransl

No need to compile (essentially, you cannot :)
If you want to even avoid the chmod/filemanager stuff, then
give it as parameter to "sh" which is the shell interpreter:
a) in the directory where the script is with
sh chlatransl
or
b) with full path from anywhere
sh /path/to/chlatransl
Perhaps we should cook up a Wiki page describing this briefly?
Hope this helps,
Markus
